But municipal finances do not receive the same degree of public scrutiny as more senior governments. This can pose a problem for taxpayers and voters who want to understand how their municipal government performs, especially compared to other municipalities. To help create awareness and encourage debate, this report provides a summary analysis of important financial information for 17 of the 21 municipal- ities in Metro Vancouver, spanning a 10-year period (2002–2012). The intention is not to make an assessment of any municipality’s finances—for instance, whether taxes or spending are too high or whether municipal governments produce good value for taxpayers.

    SAFETY ORDER No: SO-P4 050216 1 SETUP OF MUELLER DEROPEMENT SWITCHES ON COMBINATION OR “ROSTA” SHEAVE ASSEMBLIES Date of Issue: February 16, 2005 This safety order is being issued pursuant to section 31 of the Safety Standards Act. A person affected by this safety order may appeal this order, in writing, to the Safety Standards Appeal Board in accordance with Section 51 of the Safety Standards Act. It is an offence under section 72 to not comply with a safety order. Part 1: Details of Regulated Work or Regulated Product This safety order is being issued in relation to (circle or highlight one): Regulated Work – General Regulated Products – General Regulated Work – Specific Class Regulated Product – Specific Class Specific Regulated Work Specific Regulated Product A failure of a deropement switch to detect a full deropement on a Mueller 2 + 1N combination or “Rosta” sheave assembly installed on a double chairlift was reported to the BCSA. It has been determined that this switch was setup incorrectly and did not meet the manufacturer’s requirements for proper setup. The factors which led to the deropement detection failure were incorrect actuator to brittle bar or break fork clearance and possible incorrect preloading of the “Rosta” sheave arm rubber element. In this configuration the fracture of the brittle bar or break fork is reliant on sufficient travel of the actuating mechanism attached to the “Rosta” sheave arm.

    Report to Council From the Affordable Housing Task Force Date: June 16, 2020 Subject: Final Report from the Port Moody Affordable Housing Task Force Purpose Port Moody Affordable Housing Task Force, which has been established for the purpose of developing priorities and policies to create and maintain affordable housing in Port Moody and to assist staff in the updating of the City’s Affordable Housing Strategy (2009). The purpose of this report is to provide information and recommendations on a suite of policies to inform Port Moody’s Affordable Housing Strategy. We seek Council endorsement to direct staff to undertake these recommendations. Recommendation THAT staff be directed to carry out the eight recommendations of the Affordable Housing Task Force as presented and recommended in the report dated June 16, 2020 from the Affordable Housing Task Force regarding Final Report from the Port Moody Affordable Housing Task Force. Executive Summary Despite the strengths of our community in promoting inclusivity, Port Moody recently was found to be one of the least affordable communities in Canada. In order for this to change, we will need to update our affordable housing strategy (2009) and implement new policies and actions. For this reason, Port Moody struck an Affordable Housing Task Force which has tasked with researching best practices and making recommendations to increase and incentivize affordable housing in the community. This report has 3 sections: The first gives background on housing in Port Moody and the benefits of affordable housing to the health of our community. The second outlines the policies that have been investigated.

  • Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and Written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; Updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013
    Early Trail Building in the New Colony of British Columbia — John Hall’s Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013. A recent “find” of colonial correspondence in the British Columbia Archives tells a story about the construction of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails between 1862 and 1864 by pioneer settler John Hall. (In 1870 Hall pre-empted 160 acres of Crown Land on Indian Arm and became Belcarra’s first European settler.) The correspondence involves a veritable “who’s who” of people in the administration in the young ‘Colony of British Columbia’. This historic account serves to highlight one of the many challenges faced by our pioneers during the period of colonial settlement in British Columbia. Sir James Douglas When the Fraser River Gold Rush began in the spring of 1858, there were only about 250 to 300 Europeans living in the Fraser Valley. The gold rush brought on the order of 30,000 miners flocking to the area in the quest for riches, many of whom came north from the California gold fields. As a result, the British Colonial office declared a new Crown colony on the mainland called ‘British Columbia’ and appointed Sir James Douglas as the first Governor. (1) The colony was first proclaimed at Fort Langley on 19th November, 1858, but in early 1859 the capital was moved to the planned settlement called ‘New Westminster’, Sir James Douglas strategically located on the northern banks of the Fraser River.

  • Community Climate Action Plan
    Our Kelowna as We Take Action Kelowna’s Community Climate Action Plan June 2018 kelowna.ca/imaginenext CITY OF KELOWNA Our Kelowna as We Take Action Letter from the Future May, 2040 I’m writing this to you as I watch the spring rains that have been pouring out of the sky for the last three days. This is pretty normal for this time of year, but I find myself thinking about how, 22 years ago when I was a kid, this kind of weather seemed so unusual. I remember waking up one May day in 2017 to find our house surrounded by water while my parents were trying to keep it out of our basement. The news that night said the flooding was a “once in a 200-year event.” These days, though, it seems like we’re getting these kinds of major weather events every few years. Our winters are shorter with less snow, and followed by incredibly wet springs with hotter, drier summers and more wildfires and pest problems than before. But thankfully, a lot of improvements have been made over the last 20 years and we’re better able to cope with them. One of the noticeable shifts is how we use our land. Much of Kelowna’s growth over the last 20 years has been concentrated in our five urban centres. This has created compact neighbourhoods with great mixes of residential, commercial and recreation space. People don’t have to travel long distances to go between the places where they live, work, shop and play so it’s a lot easier to get around by walking, biking or transit than it was when I was a kid.
